Bent cool-warm

Summary

Bent cool-warm is a diverging colormap from moreland. Two arms meet at a pivot of lightness 0.96, hue sweeps 254° from violet to red, and order holds under all three colorblind simulations.

Sharper-midpoint Moreland diverging variant.

Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.475 → 0.487 (range 0.485, min 0.475, max 0.960); non-monotonic; midpoint 0.960
